Happy Birthday Chicks

Carter's birthday was last week.  To celebrate at his pre-kindergarten class, we brought in "treats."  It so happened that the class eggs were hatching chicks the same week as Carter's celebration, so he wanted to have me make something that recognized the chicks too.

I was going to make chick cupcakes, but 5 year olds and cupcakes are messy.  I felt sorry for the teacher and just made chick cookies in order to alleviate some of the mess. 

I simply frosted some sugar cookies and covered them with yellow, dyed, sweetened, shredded coconut.  I put on two chocolate chips for eyes and added orange gummy candies cut into beaks.  Easy and cute!

The kids in the class were a little slow to dig in, and I finally realized, when one boy spoke up, they thought I had put shredded cheese on the cookies!  I wouldn't eat that either!

They finally ate the cookies once I promised them I did not use cheese.

Happy birthday, Carter and baby chicks!

    Great idea for a fun cookie. Kids are so funny sometimes. I am glad they finally figured out that it was coconut.
